Den fagre gjenta skal ut og blenkja
Language: Norwegian (Bokmål)
Den fagre gjenta skal ut og blenkja og læra gutarne stort at at tenkja. Den fagre gjenta skal sviva ut og te seg fram for den gilde gut. Den væne gjenta skal slik ein hava som hena frir fraa i mold at grava. Den væne gjenta skal slik ein faa, som hena setja kan haagt paa straa. Den beste gjenta skuld' altid vera for den, som kunde det beste gjera. Den fagre gjenta skuld' faa seg den, som kan litt meir enn dei andre menn.
C. Sinding sets stanzas 1, 3
